TOM MCNALLY (UNITED KINGDOM)

I have been taking pictures for as long as I can remember. After graduating in photography and specializing in social documentary, my work now fuses these practices with my love of adventure sports. I enjoy telling stories with pictures, working with athletes brands and publications to produce engaging and authentic imagery. Some of my most enjoyable assignments are to document amazing experiences in remote places, often traveling by human power.

My photographs have been widely published, from cover shots for The Times, to articles in industry leading publications such as Sidetracked. This year I have been pleased to be shortlisted for Landscape Photographer of the Year, The British Photography Awards and Red Bull Illume.

FRANCESCO MICHELACCI (ITALY)

More than 20 years in canyoning.
I have descended more than 600 gorges, some more than 20 times, others just once.
I placed 100 anchors and drowned three cameras, but it was worth it.

I have a background as a sports paratrooper, paraglider and in the piloting of light airplanes.

I started photographing sports in 1982 and going to the mountains in 1986. First with ski mountaineering and via ferrata, then climbing and finally since 1998 with the great passion of my life, canyoning.

Today, in addition to taking photographs, I live by managing my adventure park and doing other work at height on roofs, rock faces and trees.

ELKE OSSWALD (GERMANY)

Canyoning since more than 30 years. An Austrian Rafting guide who was curious about the small rivers flowing into the Inn introduced me to canyoning long time ago. I fell immediately in love with this adventure.
Since then I have been canyoning mainly in Europe but also in countries like Nepal, Azores, USA; Ecuador, Bali, Dominica. My favorite destination is Ticino. My favorite canyon the Bodengo in Italy.
I am responsible for International relations in the German Canyoning Association DCV (Deutscher Canyoning Verein) and doing a calendar for them since 15 years. I used to work for the German Alpine magazine and love to look at pictures of the beautiful nature in our world.
